    Default Finally Finished 6/8s "The Forever Project"

    Well, I finally finished up these 2 Razors. Tough to do as I continue to see details I believe need work. I am, however, finished with this pair. This really was an enjoyable project. Biggest problem was sorting out the ideas. That and doing the wood work. Metal is fairly easy to work (more or less) as it tends retain shape and doesn't move around like wood.

    I was shooting for clean lines and balance. The stands I hope, come across as a piece of quality furniture for the bathroom of which the Mrs. will approve. Then I realized that every quality tool needs a felt lined box for transport and storage.

    The details:
    O1, HT by Mike Blue to 59 Rc.
    Length is just over 7".
    Blades are near wedge and 6/8, edge to spine and just over 2" long.
    The razor stands are Jobillo.
    Boxes are Oak

    Coincidently, I discovered how difficult it can be to photograph blades, and get a decent pic.

    Hats off to all of you guys who consistently post quality pics that give credit to your razors (and knives).

    Those are some good looking razors. It is a good feeling to shave with a self made razor.
